does it matter?
every gaming site plus magazines online site has said its gold plus steam says its gold plus teh valve in all the interviews...
who honestly cares if 2 sites arent updated.
The forums can get a bit fanboyish from time to time like when some tool starts another "lets suck valves ****" threads but aside from that its pretty decent.
dreading the 15th though... (ill be playing on the 16th and wont care) but these forums are gonna probly crash with the amount of spam...
Or just call them grammar nazis and reffer to how proud their parents must be that they corrected some random person on the internet.
The key to succes on a forum is simply giving as good as you get.
Veg, people realise that.
What they are saying is that technicaly the australian retailers will have the game first since they open first.
so either steam will luanch Hl2 according to auss time or theres gonna be a load of angry non aussies wondering why they have to wait.
personaly im...
Tell me the name of these teachers who keep giving you homework and uncie dougy will arrange for their knees to depart from their legs...
if you catch my drift.... :O
WHAA?
1stly, read my post as to why it sucks for the aussies.
2ndly, its not the first global release for a game (by far)
3rdly, im not turning into something bad.
Valve = US company.
= Aussies basicly screwed becuase it will be later in the day and they wont have as much time to play that day.
if only valve would tell us definitively.
A nice and simple way to solve this would be to either
A. find out what CSCZ was released like on steam (h2 will probly be the same)
B. ask valve.
not just randomly guess and confuse a load of people.
Its amazing how somehow can critisize anybody when their life consists of telling others they need to get a life.
*appluads*
Simple answer is that the HL2 files are encrypted and not complete anyway, there wont be a true version of Hl2 untill valve say so.
Tuesday... NOT FAIR DAMNIT!!!
Ill get my copy via steam in the morning but ill have to leave for college at 08:20...
dont usualy finish till 16:00 but ive got a evening class that runs to 17:30
all in all ill be home for 18:00...
dinner will not be tolerated as ill eat a macdonalds...
maybe valve should make a thing that tells you when you can play the game over steam... you know people could look at it and get the answers.
oh wait... they did.... its called steam.
*guy turns on tv*
*theres Dougy holding a microphone and introducing his new series on prime time tv*
"Hi there, im Dougy, and this is "you know when youve watched too many xfiles", on my show today is some forumites from hl2.net who belive that the HL2 symbol has some deeper meaning...
Every game with a MP component for the past EVER has had this slapped on the game at some point.
i even think EA games say it while you are loading the game...
something about BF1942 and seeing that regularly....
OMGZ! teh GRAMZOEER nazi has pwned me with his 1337 Nazi WAYS!1111oneoneone11!!!!1211
Bet your parents are glad they paid for your tuition now.
-------------------
On subject, Valve says the 16th then its the 16th, im more inclined to belive them than some random store.
wrong.
more console games are pirated over warez channels than pc games and they seem to be doing fine.
PC games for the last 5 years have been clones of eachother, i can count on one hand the number of revolutionary PC games in the last 5 years.
GTA3
TW series
Hl2
The rest, like...
Well Valve have supposedly said that if a retailer releases the game early then they will release it over steam early.
so i say that some poor son of a **** should just go for it and release it, even though he will get severely sued....
